A neighbour, who did not want to give her name, said she was alerted to the incident by her son.
“It was about half twelve whenever my son came into my room to say there was police and ambulance outside the door,” she told BBC News NI.
“The police were running about frantic, along with the paramedics, so I knew something bad had happened, especially when they cordoned off the bottom of the driveway.
“I just can’t get my head around it – it really is tragic,” she added.
